Summary: One of the things that seems to be conspicuously absent from the writings of the Apostle Paul is the "why me" syndrome that many of us seem to fall into so easily.

Verse: "But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear."
—Philippians 1:12-14 Less
